In your walk with God, you may experience closing doors – relationships end, opportunities fade, or seasons shift. While such closures may seem like losses, Scripture reveals they are often divine redirections.

Proverbs 16:9 reminds us, “In his heart a man plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps.” When one door shuts, it is not always a rejection. Sometimes it is a preparation.

When God is closing doors in your life, He doesn’t merely open another door. Sometimes, He breaks down entire walls to make a way where there seemed to be none.

In Acts 16, Paul and his companions were kept from entering certain regions. Eventually, they were allowed to enter an area, and many people gave their lives to Christ.

Isaiah 43:19 declares, “See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness…”

Try to see closing doors as catalysts for greater breakthroughs rather than endings. Trust that God is the One who breaks down walls, and when He leads, no barrier can stand. Walk by faith, knowing that sometimes closing doors are the beginning of something far greater.
